[Kermit The Grog]

I, Kermit the Grog, have done it finally (and this time i lasted more than 17 thrusts)
3 kg of pale malt 75g ???????? hop's to bitter 15g golding's aroma hop's
My best and only mash tun

with copper bit's drilled out by me last night instead of partying

boiler with more plumbing

me taking over the kitchen

wort preboil it took 45 min's to sparge

the super chiller being a plumber i thought i'd make a better one but no not this time round but it works well

yeast being played with S04 it was

boiled and filtering in to fv
it is now pitched and bubbling away i'm going to syphon into another fv in a couple o days because my hop filter let all the break stuff through i am well chuffed so far

Congratulations KTG :thumb:
What a great looking brewday :clap:
I wouldn't worry about the break material being in the FV , the yeast will take care of it it will use some of it and the rest will flocculate with the yeast :thumb:

Well done on your first AG KTG, great post and pics, very well organised :

 

[Kermit The Grog]

right o it's in the barrel and it is good
tastes a lot like fuller's london pride with a little harvey's of lewe's best
i did not test the gravity yet but no matter
it is clear and so good it may not last long
